Harry ran up the stairs to Ravenclaw tower. 

" Harry! " Luna shouted following him. " I need to talk to you! " 

" I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment" Harry replied.

" You know where going! You're wasting time! " Luna shouted.

" Sorry, we'll talk later, " Harry said.

" But-" Luna began.

" Later! " Harry hollered.

" Harry Potter! You listen to me right now! " Luna snapped, stunned Harry stopped and looked at her. " Don't you remember what Cho said about Rowena Ravenclaws diadem ? There's not a person alive who's seen it. It's obvious isn't it ? We have to talk to someone who's dead". Luna led him down an empty dark hallway. They looked up at the enchantments going up. " It's impressive isn't it?  " They looked down a dark hallway. " If you want to find her, you'll find her down there". Luna pointed down a hallway. 

" Aren't you coming? " Harry asked.

" No, I think it's best you two talk alone. She is very shy," Luna said before walking away. Harry began walking down the hallway, they came to an open corridor. Everything was grey and quiet. A ghost woman stood there looking at them with caution. She had a grey dress, dark hair and dark brown eyes.

" You're The Grey Lady. THe ghost of Ravenclaw Tower," Harry said.

" I do not answer to that name," The Grey Lady said fading away.

" No ! I'm sorry, its Helena isn't ? Helena Ravenclaw, Rowena's daughter,"  Harry said quickly. Helena stopped and looked into his eyes.

" Are you a friend of Luna? " Helena asked.

" Yes," he answered. " She thought you might be able to help me".

" You seek my mother's diadem," Helena said.

" Yes," Harry said.

" Luna is kind. Unlike so many others. But she is wrong  I can not help you ! " Helena snapped, she turned away and began to drift away. Harry caught up to her.

" Wait! Please! " Harry begged. "  I want to destroy it! " Helena stopped and stared at the enchantments.

*****
On a hill outside the school, stood Voldemort and his followers. They stared at the protected school that stood in peace. Voldemort stood on the edge looking at it.

" They never learn....such a pity," Voldemort said.

" My Lord..." a Death Eater breathed. " Shouldn't we wait ? " Voldemort glared the man causing him to cower away. Voldemort rolled his eyes.

" Begin," Voldemort ordered. They began shooting spells at the enchantments to break the barrier.

********

Helena turned to Harry.

" That's what you want isn't it Helena ? " Harry asked. " You want it destroyed ? "

" My mother saw to destroy it many years ago. A strange boy named-"

" Tom Riddle," Harry finished.

" But he lied," Helena said.

" He's lied to many people," Harry pointed out.

" I know what he's done  ! I know who he is! He defiled it with dark magic ! " She shouted knocking him off their feet. Helena drifted away from him. Harry carefully walked over to her.

" I can destroy it. Once and for all. But only if you tell me where he hid it," Harry said kindly. " You do know where he hid it. Don't you Helena ? Please". She turned to him.

" Strange, you remind me a bit of him. It's here. In the castle. In the place where everything is hidden," Helena began. " If you have to ask. You'll never know. If you know. You only need to ask," Helena said as she faded away.

" Thank you," Harry responded, he ran to where he would find it.

********

Dean, Kingsley,  and Remus were walking through parts of the castle followed by Fred and George.

" Tell Professor McGonagall, Remus, and I will handle this side of the castle," Kingsley told Dean.

" Yes sir! " Dean shouted. They stopped and looked at the enchantments. Cortney entered the room, she walked over to Fred and George.

" Hey Dean, with second thoughts tell Professor McGonagall that we might need one or two more wands on this side," Kingsley said. Dean nodded and ran off.

" It is the equality of one's convictions that determines one success," Remus said stopping  Kingsley.

" Who said that? " Kingsley asked.

" Me," Lupin breathed. Tonks all of a sudden came out of nowhere. She and Lupin looked at each other. Tonks ran into his arms.

" You shouldn't have! " Remus exclaimed. " Where's Teddy honey? "

" Asleep until dawn, snores like his father," Tonks answered.

" Where's Dana? " Cortney asked as the two cousins hugged.

" Also asleep until dawn," Tonks answered. She then looked at Remus. " It's you that needs me tonight". She then looked at Cortney. " Go to Seamus, he needs you tonight". Cortney nodded and took off towards the bridge. George and Fred stood on a edge, putting their hands over the railing. They stared at the enchantments.

" You okay Freddie ? " George asked.

" Yeah," Fred answered.

" Me too," George said.

********

Hermione and Ron stood in front of the snake door, in the chamber of secrets. Ron did some of that weird snake language. Hermione looked at him strangely.

" Harry talks in his sleep," Ron said proudly. " You know it? "

" No, of course not! " Hermione breathed.

*****

Neville stood at the end of the bridge. Death Eaters came charging at him. But once they crossed the barrier line, they dissolved, so they stopped. Stared at Neville.

" Yeah! " Neville shouted. " You-Know-Who's army? "

********

Cortney now stood on the other end of the bridge with everyone else.

" Ready? " Seamus asked.

" As I'll ever be," Cortney replied.

*****

Ron just ripped a fang out of the Basilisk's skeleton. He handed it to Hermione.

" You do it," Ron said.

" I can't," Hermione denied shaking her head.

" Yes, you can," Ron encouraged her. The two of them grabbed the fang and stabbed the cup together. The water rose high into the air and went after them. The two back up as far as they can before getting drenched by the water. After they stood there for a second before kissing each other.

******

The enchantments fell apart and now where floating through the air like leaves. The snatcher slowly put his foot forward, nothing happened. All at once they charge at Nevill, shooting spells. Neville ran shooting spells blindly before setting off the explosives. The bridge began to fall as Neville got closer to the others. It Death Eater's with it, Neville almost reached the other side when the land went down under his feet.

" Neville! " Ginny shouted. Seconds later a hand shot up throwing a wand over. Cortney slowly walked over to the edge with her wand out. Neville pulled himself up.

" That went well," Neville breathed.

*******

McGonagall was standing in front of the castle. 

" Get inside! " She ordered everyone.

********

Harry was running down the steps when he had to defend a Death Eater.

" Ginny! Cortney! Neville! " Harry yelled when he saw them. " You alright? " 

" Never better! " Neville breathed. " I feel like I can spit fire! " Neville looked at Cortney. " We'll probably both be dead by morning ! " They ran up the stairs. Ginny and Harry kissed before Ginny went after those two. Some guy shot a spell at Neville, it missed. Cortney shot a certain spell her mother taught her. A whip came out of her wand, and it sent the Death Eater flying. 

******

Harry now stood in front of a blank wall, he closed his eyes, when he opened them, there stood a door. He then opened them and walked through them. 

********

" Bloody hell," Ron breathed as he and Hermione walked through the hallway dripping wet. They were looking at Marauder's Map. " We'll never find them on this".

" Hold up," Hermione said, Cortney ran past and Hermione grabbed her arm making him stop. " Here he is! "  Hermione pointed at Harry's name.

" He's just...brilliant! " Ron breathed.

" He just vanished. I'm sure I saw it," Hermione breathed. Ron looked up.

" Maybe they've gone to the Room of Requirements. It doesn't show on the up on that map, does it ? You said that last year," Ron stated.

" That's right I did," Hermione breathed. She was that surprised he remembered that.

"Let's go," Cortney said walking ahead of them.

*********

The room looked like the back of an old antique shop, things in big piles. Pixies spied on Harry, flying throughout the room. A familiar hissing sound filled Harry's ears. He walked over to a small table holding items. He carefully opened a box, revealing the diadem. An eagle perched on top of it, a symbol of Ravenclaw, under it was a blue sapphire and lining with black words. The hissing sounds intensified when Harry picked it up out of the box.

" Well well, " said a familiar voice. Harry looked up to see Draco, Blaise, and Goyle, they stood a few feet away, with wands out. " What brings you here Potter ? "

" I could ask you the same thing," Harry said calmly as he looked at his long-time enemy.

" You have something of mine. I'd like it back," Draco snapped. He was referring to the wand they took.

" What's wrong with the one you have? " Harry asked.

" It's my mother's. It's powerful, but it's...not the same. Doesn't quite understand me," Draco answered.

" Why didn't you tell her? " Harry asked. " Bellatrix. You knew it was me. You didn't say anything". Harry slowly took out his wand.

" Come on Draco! " Goyle hissed. " Don't be a prat! Do it! "

" Easy! " Draco snapped.

" Expelliarmus! " Hermione shouted from behind Harry. She and Ron came out of nowhere soaking wet. Cortney cam in behind them, completely dry. Everyone began shooting spells at each other. One of Draco's spells hit the diadem, it went flying high and deep into a pile. Before running off, Harry shot a spell at Draco disarming him.

" Avada Kedavra! " Goyle shouted, the spell barely missed Hermione.

" Stupefy! " Hermione shouted at Goyle.

" That's my girlfriend you git! " Ron shouted running after them. Cortney looked at Hermione as she blushed.

"It's about time," Cortney said.

" Shut up," Hermione said Harry climbed up the pile. He pulled the diadem out and got down. They heard Ron screaming, they looked in that direction. Ron came running towards them in a panic, there was a light behind him.

" Goyle set the bloody place on fire! " Ron shouted grabbing Hermione's hand and running. 

" Draco! " Cortney called as she and Harry began running. She was not about to lose her cousin. The fire spread out through the entire room. The two passed a medium-sized statue, running into Ron and Hermione. The fire was about to consume them, when Hermione put up a water spell that didn't last long. Ron found the broom sticks and gave everyone one. They saw Draco, Goyle, and Blaise as they flew. They climbed up a high pile. Goyle lost his grip and fell into the fire.

" Harry! " Cortney shouted.

" We can't leave them! " Harry shouted flying towards them.

" He's joking right !? " Ron shouted. They flew by sticking out their hands. They missed, they flew around the room again. " If we die for them Harry, I'm going to kill you! " This time they got the two boys. Draco rode with Harry and Blaise rode with Ron. The girls led them out of the room. They landed right outside of the room with a bang. Draco and Blaise ran off. Harry held the diadem on the floor as Ron tossed the fang to Cortney, she caught it and stabbed it. At that moment Harry felt paralyzed.  Ron kicked the diadem into the fire, just in time for the as the doors closed. Harry was seeing what Voldemort was seeing. He stood on a hill looking much weaker.

" My Lord ? " the Death Eater asked.

" Avada Kedavra! " He shouted at the Death Eater. " Come Nagini, I need to keep you safe". He then apparated. Harry snapped out of it, the other three looked at him worried.

" The snakes the last one. She's the last one," Harry breathed. " The last Horcrux". Ron knelt down beside him.

" Look inside him. Find where he is," Ron told him. " If we find him, we can find the snake. Then we can find this". Harry closed his eyes. Voldemort was at the boat house talking to Lucius Malfoy, he had his back to him.

" My Lord," Lucius began. " Might it be less...I should be less prudent to call off this attack. Simply seek the boy, yourself".

" I don't need to seek the boy...before the night us out, he will come to me! " Voldemort snapped turning to Lucius. " Don't you understand! " He was now if front of Lucius and slapped him across the face angrily. " Look at me! How can you live with yourself, Lucius? "

" I don't know," he answered.

" Go find Severus. Bring him to me," Voldemort ordered before walking away. Harry opened his eyes.

" I know where he is" Harry simply said
